Water connection
If you are a Shell Scheme Exhibitor and require a water connection to your stand, please note that if the water pit/connection is not in your stand and rather needs to be brought in from behind your stand wall, there will be a cost to create a connection through the wall as it will require creating a hole in the wall for the connection. Please contact RAI Exhibitor Services directly or all +31 20 549 1928 to arrange this.
